About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait etched into paper. A man with curly hair and a high collar faces left, his head framed by a circular border. Above him, a decorative bow sits like a crown, adding a touch of fancy. The paper has a textured look, like old paper with visible lines. The name "I.F.A. Brunet de Neuilly" is written below the portrait, suggesting this is a formal image of a person. The style looks polished and detailed, typical of its time.
